have a wind gust up to 58 miles an hour. the heaviest rain in the north bay. live doppler 7hd. look at these yellows. in fact we've had so much rain hitting our radar on top of mount saint helena. we've had to change the elevation. very, very happy rain from clear lake down through could be mountain, santa rosa, and into martinez and vacaville. you see the darker shading green right here. so that heavy rain beginning to sink south into the east bay from richmond and berkeley, continue ron. you see the rain all throughout high bay 1, highway 101 through san francisco. and the winds are common over 40 to 45 miles an hour. into the east bay the rain is picking up from 580, grizzlies peak boulevard, emeryville and
5:32 am
walnut creek. no one is spared in the south bay. the rain a little bit lighter from the peninsula over to the east bay. but still it's getting wet from union city, 880 and 680 and down through the south bay right now. so as i said before, if you are not feeling the effects of the rain right now, you are certainly feeling the effects of the wind. 20 to 25 americans gusts from livermore to san jose. but look at the coast. 51 miles an hour. so those planes aren't going anywhere this morning. wind gusts in hayward near 40 miles an hour. wind advisory during noontime and flash flood watch the evening hours. we will see the rises in streams and creeks after the heaviest rain and perhaps some debris flow. mudslides are possible as well. be very careful and best advice, stay inside. carolyn. >> thank you, lisa. you know the gusty winds from the pacific storms are kicking up the waves all along the bay area beaches, describingerring high surf advisories this morning.
5:33 am
nick smith is live in pacifica where people want to come out and watch the waves pound the pier but what's going on? >> carolyn, i'm going to tell you that's not going to happen today. in fact, if you take a look over my shoulder you see the pier would ordinarily be open right now but they have it locked and closed. if you look closer, carolyn, you will see why. wind is so strong here at pacifica that the water and waves are crashing against one side and you can see it spraying to the other. that's the big story right now, carolyn, wind. take a look at that water. i want you to get an idea what we are dealing with and for perspective this is how it could impact us. winds in common with saturated soils with days of rain could lead to downed trees and power lines. in addition, driving could also become a challenge. there's a wind advisory in effect and the storm, the wind, the rain starts and is expected to drop between three to seven inches at the higher elevations. now where we are right now we've
5:34 am
been told to look out for flash flatting, a flash flatting watch is in effect for the entire north bay and coastal areas from san francisco down to saint cruise. the storm is expected to have just as much water as the second storm did, although it's expected to move through much more quickly. it doesn't look like that is the case right now. again, the best thing that i can tell you right now is that the wind has really just picked up. i had my little an momter out here earlier and it says 41 to 47 miles an hour. but now i'm just going to defer to lisa because i have to believe it's stronger. right now i have the luxury of having a little shelter freetier building but when i step back i definitely feel a completely different story. the wind and everything definitely creates a different narrative. once again we are live in pacifica. we will continue to follow the situation here and i'll send it back to you in the studio. >> good thing you are a big guy, nick. all right. with this series of storms, the
5:35 am
rivers are rising throughout the bay area. there's a flood warning this morning for the napa river. that's where abc7 news reporter kera clapper is joining us live. what can you tell us this morning? >> well, carolyn, as i said about a half-hour ago, the wind is really picking up here. the rain has been steady. it's not very strong. but when the wind comes through and just gives you that gust, it feels really sharp and it's coming kind of diagonally right now. the main concern here is the river. so i'll get out of the way and let adam show it to you. there are conflicting reports this morning about when and where the napa river will overflow. original reports were that it would overflow about noon today. that's been pushed back to about five or six this evening. north of napa in saint helena another concern the river could rise about noon today. water heights could be anywhere between 25 and 27 feet. let's get back to that wind. as nick mentioned, as lisa mentioned, as carolyn mentioned,
5:36 am
we have video from the wind whipping through downtown napa about an hour and a haling a blowing oftennings and decorations at businesses. at a self-serve sandbag location the wind is blowing the rain all over the sand and the bags. we have the scene this morning from what looks like an empty parking lot with debris in it. what that it is river point napa valley resort, those are remnants from what used to be 37 modular cottages. they were moved late last evening in preparation for this dig storm number three. and also as a precaution as the rain starts to become a little more heavy, the city of napa has closed the river walk prom anade and the park so people can stay indoors today. >> stay indoors and keep it tuned to abc7 news. coming up next, a new climate change report puts much of the bay area under water a lot sooner than you might think.

scenes like this could soon become commonplace. and we've got a live look right now from our emeryville camera showing you, yes, it is raining there and windy. lisa argen will have your forecast in just

5:42 am
bay to flood thanks in part to careful engineering. but they caution if walls like these aren't ball along other areas of the shoreline, whole communities could end up under water. >> areas like foster city. all could be under water by mid-century, maybe sooner. >> a lot of people could be displaced. this is very expensive property down here. >> you think rankin sells a lot of flights now, in a few decades the oakland and san francisco parents could be shutting down runways with every storm. >> that's crazy. those are two main airports so that had be shocking if that happened. >> levees, sea walls and pumps will need to be installed and not take it lightly. >> we should take the time and do it right but we probably need to move more quickly than we thought we do. >> jonathan bloom i can't feel 7 news. >> this is a busy, busy weather time. our meteorologist lisa argen here now talking about wind,
5:43 am

5:46 am
merced scientists and environmentalists are working to save what they describe as a national stretch you are. the restoration of the san joaquin river is a story we've been reporting on for years now. abc7 news reporter mark matthews went along to witness a historic milestone. >> scientists with the california department of fish and game are on a rescue mission. they are trapping chinook salmon in this part of the river near merced in an effort to restore these fish to a river that's being brought back to life. >> this is an important milestone in the san joaquin river conservation program. >> he explains this is part of a decades long effort to restore the san joaquin river, which used to be the home waters for chinook salmon. old-timers who grew up on the river say the spring salmon runs were something to see. >> you could run across their backs and not touch the water. >> he is talking about gravely
5:47 am
ford. this is that part now. it's dried up, been like this for most of the past 60 years. ever since the dam was built in the 1940s to block up the san joaquin and to divert the river water into channels to irrigate central valley farms from bakersfield and on. the fish just weren't that big of a consideration. but in 1988 the salmon caught a break. the natural resources defense council led a coalition of environmental efforts and fishermen in a lawsuit against the government-run dam and the water district and in 2006 they reach a settlement. now the first salmon are being truck around the dry beds and other obstacles 160 miles upstream to be reintroduced in the river below the dam because by next spring the scientists believe the last of the details will be sorted out. >> when we have these easements in place we will have the river all year round in perpetuity,
5:48 am
and that's exciting. >> california fish and game hope the fall-run salmon will spawn and produce off spring but just to make sure they are scooping eggs from some of the females and artificially spawning them. the young will be raised in pens below the dam and then released. >> and hopefully get out to the ocean, mature and come back and spawn in approximately three years. >> by then the river should be restored from fresno to san francisco bay. safe to say that growers who have relied on the water to irrigate their crops are not happy will the fish. walt has heard plenty from his neighbors. >> they are telling me to go back to san francisco and i'm a farmer here raising, born and raced here in the valley. >> he supports restoration of the river. he believes it will recharge the underground aquifer and bring back california salmon fishery. >> there's ocean farmers and land farmers and we can coexist. there's enough water for everybody but not enough for everybody's agreed. that's the problem, agreed. >> he talks of compromise and
5:49 am
after years of fighting that's what we are seeing on the san joaquin river. just as another water war is heating up. one over the governor's plan to built a delta tunnel to ship northern california water south. in the newsroom, mark matthews, abc7 news. >> we have breaking news from san francisco right now. one person is confirmed dead after a multi-car crash on northbound 280 near the eastmoor exit. two trucks and a car is involved. the chp is on the scene right now. all lanes there are blocked. we will keep you updated and we don't know if this was storm related or not, but we do know there's a high wind advisory out there and that it's raining like crazy. >> and the south bay just at about 1500 feet, wind gusts to 63 miles an hour. at the surface we are at 30 to 45 miles an hour, no problem. up in the north bay the-rest
5:50 am
rain continues to be there. as we head outside this is the south way right now where lighter returns in san jose with 63 degrees, southeast winds and gusting to 74. go up a couple hundred feet or a thousand feet and you are getting close to hurricane force winds. up in napa you see the wind blowing the rain sideways there. not only do we have this the next several hours, it is still locked up in the extreme north bay. we look at live doppler 7 hd, this shows you the darker yellow, the reds where the rain is coming down at a good clip. right now this is where the cold front is. so just south of clear language around santa rosa, woodland and pushing south through vacaville. the east bay is getting wet but i wanted to show you these winds. novato up to 41 miles an hour and napa over that and santa rosa 38 miles an hour wind gusts over into the east bay where the rain is pushing in 51 miles an
5:51 am
hour wind gusts at the airport and the coast is over 32 miles an hour. so here's a look at the north bay and the east bay where the rain continues to sink south from highway 101 to tiberon and look it here. we will zoom in and you notice around sycamore valley road we are getting some moderate to heavy rain south of anywhere -- miranda. and lighter rain here but the bridges are welt and they are dangerous with the gusty winds from the san mateo bridge, the dumbarton bridge. light returns through milpitas, and sunnyvale light rain and into campbell. but here, too, you have the very gusty winds. it will take through about 12:00 the front pushes through. the santa cruz mountains, boulder creek, and morgan hill just a few light showers. lower 60s right now with the gusty south winds. the flash flood watch taking us
5:52 am
through the evening hours and the heaviest rain the first half the day. then we get the rises in the streams and creeks. already a downed tree reported newspaper sonoma county. wind gusts there up to 60 miles an hour. the wind advisory could be extended but right now it's until noon. heaviest rain will sink south through the bay area in the next two to four hours. look how quickly it clears behind it. we are talking sunshine and calm witnesses throughout the latter half of the day but that will last into monday. but we aren't rain free for the next seven days. rainfall estimates still up to five inches up in sonoma county around napa. two to four inches from marin southward. one to two ins the east bay, south bay. and the santa cruz mountains looking at probably four inches of rain. heavy rain and win, a flash flood watch, a wind advisory and the rain and wind diminish this afternoon. that's good news for you for the raiders it should be actually a thing of the past. this is at 1:00. it should be nice out there with numbers in the 60s. i can believe i'm saying all
5:53 am
this in one day. and then down by the monterey day. you will be last to clear. lesser amounts here just because once this front accelerates it will whip on out of here. a little bit of light rain tuesday and wednesday in the north bay and actually high pressure builds in the rest of the work week. that will be nice. >> yes, definitely. all right. thank you, lisa. coming up next, even with all the wet weather, the rain did not keep bay area holiday spirits down
5:54 am
5:55 am
>> despite the rain there were several holiday parades and tree lightings around the bay area last night. take a look at this one in pleasanton. hundreds of people lining main street there for the city's
5:56 am
